European Poker Tour Kicks off 2024 High-Stakes Schedule as EPT Paris' �10,200 Mystery Bounty Commences
Since its introduction in 2022, the �10,200 Mystery Bounty event has been a staple on European Poker Tour stops around the continent. It comes thus as no surprise that once again it will be featured at the PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Paris in 2024, starting today at 7 p.m. local time at the spacious Le Palais des Congr��s in the heart of the French capital.
At the inaugural EPT Paris stop in 2023, it was Portugal's Andre Marques who bested a field of 107 contenders to hoist the trophy, pocketing a combined sum of �176,000 in cash prize and bounties in the process. Meanwhile, Oleg Vasylchenko won the most recent edition of this event at the 2023 EPT Prague stop, seeing �154,673 added to his bank account as a reward for beating the other 55 players in the tournament.
Day 1 of the two-day event will see eight 30-minute levels being played out. All players receive 100,000 starting chips, amounting to 100 big blinds at the start of play. Late registration will remain open until the end of Level 10, the second level of Day 2, at which point the starting stack will be worth 20 big blinds.
�5,000 of each buy-in will be allocated to the bounty prize pool, which will come into play from Level 13 onwards when the bounty tokens are introduced, while �4,700 will go to the regular prize pool.
